UK Robotics Summer School – 22-26 June 2026
The National Robotarium is hosting the 2026 UK Robotics Summer School, taking place from 22-26 June 2026.
The Summer School, organised by the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics – a joint initiative between the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University and supported by the UK-RAS Network CDT D2AIR, will feature a week of expert-led lectures, tutorials, and industry talks covering some of the most important and fast-growing areas in robotics and artificial intelligence. Participants will also gain hands-on experience working with state-of-the-art robotics technology and platforms.
Key topics for 2026 include:
- Bioinspired robotics
- Generative AI for robotics
- Healthcare robotics
- Safe AI for robotics
The programme will also include an Industry Application Day, where industry partners will present current projects, real-world challenges, and emerging opportunities in robotics and autonomous systems.
In addition to the academic and technical programme, the Summer School provides excellent networking opportunities, bringing together students, researchers, and industry professionals from across the UK robotics and AI community. Registration includes refreshments, lunch, and the Summer School dinner, kindly sponsored by the UK-RAS Network.
Participants can register for the full week or choose to attend specific days depending on their availability and interests. The registration deadline is 29 May 2026.
